question #2 what are these wheels? Junk?
These are the wheels on the car now, they are Ronal 16's. Are these "good" wheels (strong/light) or classic showpony pigs?

These are pretty decent wheels, fairly light and strong. Much better than Fuchs replicas, but not quite as good as the real deal.

May not be junk, but they are tough to look at... I know opinions are like *********s...

They remind me of the late 80's early 90's and Ferraris for some reason. Not bad.

Ronal is a good company. Your wheels are nice, but I don't like the Porsche center caps on them. The colors don't go well together. Have you thought of painting the wheels black?

I agree, paint them black. Then they will kinda look like the old magnesium RSR/917 wheels!

Ohhh good idea, black may be cool. I don't care for them now, but if they're a good wheel some experimentation may be worthwhile.
